Hey man, I'm also helping out with the passing game this year, and want to know what you'd call a certain play. You may remember, we line up in the Paul Johnson formation, except instead of a fullback behind center, we have a tailback 6-7 yards deep, and instead of motioning little guys around...

Same, honestly. It's a little add on play for us if we get time to install it, not a core feature, but with both our H and Y off the line in wingback positions, we're well positioned for it.

I ended up nixing it. you guys were also right about having too many blocking schemes last year, the kids couldn't handle it. We're blocking everything with a gap scheme this year except for toss which we're just having everybody reach block because that's simple enough I think they can get it...

So, juice worth the squeeze, or stand pay?

Ok, gotcha :)

The pulls aren't called, they're read. If you've got a man under you, you pin him, if you're uncovered you pull and hit the first wrong jersey you see.

No, yeah, I know what pin and pull is, I understand the concept, I know the basic OL rules (Pin under or covered, pull uncovered), and I understand the RPO constraint you put on the force defender. I guess I'm asking you about defending it (I like to think about offense from a "what would I...

Hey man, Year 2 of being running game coordinator for my brother's H.S. team. I'm fundamentally not a fan of zone running anyhow, because I think football is a game of aggression and I don't like the passivity of zone blocking. THAT SAID, we put in inside zone and outside zone because...

Awesome post! One caveat, though. You're 23 or so. When you are 43 or so you are going to realize why us oldsters chuckle softly to ourselves at your notion of savvy 17 year olds. Still, really good post :)

I'm not sure that you understand how sour grapes works

You know, it's REALLY tough to judge, IMO. We were in SSSSUUUUCCCCHHH different situations when they both took over. Beamer had been trending down, it's true, but there was a stable program with a good tradition and a winning culture, and he kept Foster, who is a hall of famer. (Something HAS...

I'm loving the heck out of it :) Here's the thing. I don't like Bronco Mendenhall. I wouldn't want to hang out with him. I wouldn't send my kids to play for him. I think he's largely full of it. That said, he's also clearly at least a competent football coach. He may even be an above average...

It is a leisure activity. Nobody's life is on the line. There are only ~10 opportunities a year to watch GT football, root on the white and gold, and enjoy a group of kids that don't get in trouble and do their best to represent the school. Enjoy tonight. Put aside expectations, and...

Good game, you guys. I retract my statement that GT will finish with 2 wins after this season and next. This was a hard fought one!

To be honest, and this isn't a shot at you, but there are just too many weirdos on the internet for me to feel comfortable doing that. All it takes is one guy to start trying to take things into the real world, and my brothers career is screwed up. I genuinely appreciate the interest, and...

My brother and my team playoffs start next week. Honestly, I think we're going to get smoked, but between the two of us we are happy to have made the playoffs in the first year. Honestly, I don't think the line is ridiculous. Broncos a weirdo, but he's a rock solid X's and O's defensive coach...

Our whole offense is based around "Perkins is the best athlete on the field". Or OC is a bum, but generally Perkins actually is the best athlete on the field . Teams that can bottle up Perkins will beat UVA. I don't think GT can.

BEAUTIFUL stuff :)

Mmmm, I agree that London had other problems as well as not recruiting the lines, but I'm not sure Snyder is the example you want to use. K-State mined the JUCO ranks like nobody else under Snyder. There's just no way in hell that a school like GT could hire Snyder. His teams were an allstar...
